10 Reasons You’re Wrong About The Star Wars Prequels

9. John Williams' Score Is Great

You could argue that in the world of Hans Zimmers and Michael Giacchinos that John Williams is a little antiquated, his catchy themes hearkening back to a different era of movies. But while his more classical themes wont work with all of today's modern, gritty blockbusters they feel right at home as the backdrop to an epic space opera.

Williams has written and conducted the soundtracks to all six films in the saga and will be returning in 2015 to score Episode VII. Since the very beginning his music has been a defining element of the series - from the moment those words started crawling through space the main theme has been an integral part of the series - and the quality of it never dipped once. In fact, the prequel soundtracks are, if anything, more creative.

With audio callbacks to earlier films (particularly in Revenge Of Sith) there's a welcome sense of familiarity that intercuts the newer songs. And those newer songs are just as catchy as the ones that overplayed Luke and Leia's adventures. Duel Of The Fates, Across The Stars and Battle Of The Heroes, the central themes of the three prequels, are brilliantly harmonic entries in the canon of Star Wars soundtracks that will no doubt get their own references in 2015.
